Ok VW guys and gals here is a 1994 volkswagen golf MK3. It has the 2.0 gas engine with the 5 speed manual tranny. The car runs and drives great. It cranks easy with no smoke and the clutch feels good and the tranny shifts out great. There have been some mods done to the car (before I purchased it) It has drilled front rotors, Short throw shifter kit, Nothelle springs (H&R), tubular headers. The interior is in pretty decent shape with the exception of the head liner. The tires are ok and the brakes have plenty of tread left. The timing belt is fairly new as well as the exhaust. The car is fun to drive but it needs some tlc. It would make a great project car because alot of things have already been done. 


The bad. 
The car was originally red but was sprayed (not by me) flat black. The previous owner parked it under a tree for years and never washed it so it shows signs of that.
The AC doesnt work and Im not sure why
It needs a heater core. The lines have been bypassed so as of now no heat.
The instrument cluster doesnt work. The miles show 167K and some change but its not clocking miles.
The ignition switch quit cranking the car 2 days ago. I tried working with it with no luck. I installed a push button on the dash (no holes were drilled) that works great. Turn on the key, hit the button, turn off the key when you want it to quit.
The sun roof leaks and needs work. This caused the head liner to fall and get gross so I took it out. I still have the backing but its not in the car right now but is included in the sale.
Passenger side tail light isnt working (not a bulb)
Drivers side headlight low beam is out. 
Needs a radio but there is a Kicker amp under the rear seat that powers up but not sure if it works.But Im not taking it out so its yours as well.
 

As I was cleaning it earlier my daughter was coloring the driveway with chalk. This sparked an idea. The flat black paint works great as a chalk board and yep it washes right off.. This thing could be a rolling billboard or art creation.
The car needs alot of work but its a southern car with no rust or major body issues at all. It does run great and its really fun to drive. Keep in mind That Im listing this as a project car. these cars are getting hard to come by and this is a really good start to a fun project. If you are local please feel free to come see it. Feel free to ask any and all questions and do not bid with unanswered questions. Depending on the total amount at the end of the auction I might let you pay the full amount through paypal. I have no problem selling to bidders outside the US. But if you are outside the US paypal is your only option for payment and you handle shipping. Shipping is up to the buyer and I can help load if no problem. I have a few phone numbers here at the house so I might be able to help some. but try to have your shipping set up before you bid cause it aint cheap.

Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing.

In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

Coronavirus prompts VW to stop production throughout Europe

Tue, Mar 17 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen Group, the world's biggest carmaker, is suspending production at factories across Europe as the coronavirus pandemic hits sales and disrupts supply chains, the company said on Tuesday. The German carmaker, which owns the Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda brands, also said that uncertainty about the fallout from coronavirus meant it was impossible to give forecasts for its performance this year. "Given the present significant deterioration in the sales situation and the heightened uncertainty regarding parts supplies to our plants, production is to be suspended in the near future at factories operated by group brands," Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Tuesday. Volkswagen's powerful works council concluded it was not possible for workers to maintain a safe distance from each other to prevent contagion and recommended a suspension of production at its factories from Friday. Production will be halted at VW's Spanish plants, in Setubal in Portugal, Bratislava in Slovakia and at the Lamborghini and Ducati plants in Italy before the end of this week, Diess said. Most of its other German and European factories will prepare to suspend production, probably for two to three weeks, while Audi said separately it would halt output at its plants in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. Volkswagen's vast factories in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in Puebla, Mexico, and plants in Brazil were not affected, but that would depend on how the coronavirus spreads, VW said. Volkswagen has 124 production sites worldwide of which 72 are in Europe, with 28 in Germany alone. "2020 will be a very difficult year. The coronavirus pandemic presents us with unknown operational and financial challenges. At the same time, there are concerns about sustained economic impacts," Diess said.   Production in China resumes Volkswagen Group sold 10.96 million vehicles last year, putting it ahead of Toyota based on the latest figures from the Japanese carmaker. Globally, VW employs 671,000 people and it delivered 4.86 million vehicles to European customers in 2019. Only last month the car and truck maker based in Wolfsburg, Germany, predicted that vehicle deliveries this year would match 2019 sales and forecast an operating return on sales in the range of 6.5% to 7.5%. "The spread of coronavirus is currently impacting the global economy. It is uncertain how severely or for how long this will also affect the Volkswagen Group.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
